Words of caution on that topic (
as with everything), shortly after my purchase the rear oil cooler developed a crack, by the time I got it to a shop it was hemorrhaging oil.
The shop steamed cleaned the engine as a result, and so they could pull the engine, put in a clutch, return oil tubes, chain tensioner upgrade etc.......hence why so many people say get a PPI.
However when I got the car back I started to hear a weird whining sound from the rear.
Apparently in the zeal to power clean / steam clean they may have removed some of the wheel bearing grease in the process.
Unless you want to pull your 240 lb torque castellated nut off and repack or replace rear wheel bearings, one has got to be careful in that area (
including CV joints/boots).
If anyone has had a similar problem and wants a temporary short term fix until they can open it up and pull things, PM me I know a few tricks.
EDIT:
Re-lube of clutch, shift and throttle linkages may be required after engine and transmission cleaning/degreasing.
